Switching the Remote Control to Operate Additional Digital Satellite Receiver

Your remote control can be reprogrammed to operate additional digital satellite receivers. This may be necessary in situations where multiple digital satellite receivers are located in the same general area and can pick up signals intended for each other.

To switch the remote control, simply press and hold the key while entering the receiver ID. The receiver ID can be 001 through 008. Do not forget the two zeros. Remember to access the ADVANCED PREFERENCES screen using the keys on the front of the digital satellite receiver to pair it with the remote control.

The other way to program your remote control to match you digital satellite receiver is to scan for the correct code.

1.Keep your remote control aimed at the device you want to control during this process. The remote control will send out the “power” command for the digital satellite receiver.

2.While holding down the SAT key, press the “Mute” key for one full second. Then release the keys. The SAT key should light and stay lit. If it doesn’t, repeat the process.

3.Once you are in programming mode, repeatedly tap the key to step through the codes, sending out the power command. This could take up to eight presses. When your digital satellite receiver shuts off, you have found the code.

4.Press the key to verify that you haven’t missed the code. In order to lock in the code, press the SAT key again.

The remote will remember the code until you reprogram it.

Identifying Codes that Have Been Stored

You can determine the codes that are stored in your remote control. This may be useful for reprogramming additional remote controls later on.

1.Press the device key and the “Mute” key simultaneously.

2.Press the key and count the number of times the red light on the top of the remote control blinks. Each digit of the three-digit code is separated by a 3-second period the light is off. For example, if the code number is 021, the light will blink 10 times (for “0”), pause three seconds, blink twice, pause three seconds, and blink once.

Controlling Other Components Using the AUX Button

Some additional features are available when the remote control is in the AUX mode. These instructions apply exclusively to the universal remote control (HRMC-3).

Volume Control in AUX Mode

Note that when the remote control is in TV, VCR, or SAT mode, the volume keys control the sound volume for the television. When you’re in AUX mode, if your auxiliary component has audio output, the volume keys control that component’s sound volume. If your auxiliary component doesn’t have audio output, you can program the volume button so that it continues to control the TV volume when your remote control is in AUX mode:

1.Press the “AUX” key and the “Mute” key simultaneously.

2.Press the “Volume Up” key.

Once you perform these steps, whenever your remote control is in AUX mode the volume keys will control the television volume. In the event that you reprogram the “AUX” key to control a different
